My First Time Growing

I love the rabbit food idea, but I don't have a rabbit. Do you suppose there's enough THC in the leaves that a rabbit would consider it a special treat?:yummy:

Rabbits love outdoor marijuana gardens. Deer too.

From what I understand, there is no THC in the leaves, only in the buds. But I personally have no idea, They might get a "treat" from it. I also don't have anything small enough to test it on. But that's a good thought! Either way, Jordan is already in a bag to protect the pollen from escaping until I decide how I'm going to get rid of him. I just wish it had been Minnie me that was the male, she is so much smaller than Jordan. Oh well, 1 out of 4 bag seeds isn't bad, I'd say 3 out of 4 being female isn't bad! and now I've seen a male, I can ID them too. Learned something new and that's ALWAYS a good thing (for me).

There are people who juice 8-10 leaves in their morning fruit or vegetable juices. According to enthusiasts, marijuana leaves, even male, are a good source of CBDs and various terpenoids and phyto chemicals. A healthy addition to juices and shakes :)

I'm on your page Smoke! I too can ID a male now. I was pretty happy when I had a positive ID, because now that I'm certain what each sex looks like, I'll never forget.

I can't seem to get a good enough pic, but I'm 100% sure that Minnie me is a female. She has pistils growing all over. I will get a pic for you guys to see, but I'm sure of it already, Minnie is a she. :)

My thought exactly. Now I've seen both I won't have a problem in the future IDing them.

That's an old pic of Minnie when she was sick, Now she is much better looking and much
bigger! Off hand I can't find a recent pic of Minnie, but I will either find one or take one later. Nice job on finding her pic.
 
Smoke I have my fella burn all my stalks and what not now and it doesn't smell anything like herb... actually it smells like grass burning from your yard... In the hollow where I live I don't really have what you would call neighbors but the closest house on the south side on me is a State Trooper and on the North side is a County officer so if it smelled anythign like MJ... it would have not been an option... I do also have a steady pile of them thrown over into the pasture but that was before fella came off the road for work..:blushsmile:....:circle-of-love:

Thanks for the input Dennise, That's all I needed to know. I'll be getting rid of Jordan later today then.

Thanks!!

I do similar to D. We burn a lot of wood every year (10-12 cords) so I just throw the stems into the fire. Keep the trim for butter oil etc. :) :peace:

So there actually is THC in the leaves then? I had no idea! I've been flushing all the leaves I trim off after they have dried enough to crush them into a powder. Thanks Supergroomer!
 
Dennise said:
Not your fan leaves Smoke just your bud trim... they will be covered in trichs too... you will be able to see the difference and the bud trim leaves you can use for butter or infused oil etc....:circle-of-love:

O.K., I'll have to wait until I've done a harvest to actually understand what "trim" is then. Right now I have no clue as to what bud trim is yet. I'm picturing the pieces of the stalk that get cut out when you harvest, but I'm betting that I'm wrong.

No where near the amount in the flower, but yes. I save all my trim and when there is enough, make coconut oil. The farther along into flower, the more trichomes will be on the trim. I usually trim my girls in flower about 25 days and about 45 days to keep the light getting down to the lower nodes. :peace:

BTW. A Magical Butter Machine is GREAT for making butters and oils!!! :peace:

Thank you for the info Super, When I have enough to buy the machine, I'll get one, but at the rate I'm saving (VERY small budget) it will take a long time since the cheapest I've seen them is around $125.00 I think if I'm remembering right. Whoa, I'm way off, On Amazon (where it costs a little more usually) the machine is $179.00. But for now I'm saving for a better light in the bookcase.
 
Here are a few pic's of the newer plants, The Truthband that I just put into it's big pot not even a week ago is really starting to take off, that's the first pic:

Next is the Amnesia that I just put into a 1 gallon pot this morning:

Last pic is of the Delicious Critical Super Silver Haze seedling Or for now, the DCSSH. I still have one germinating alsoand a clone attempt also.

The last pic show's what happens and is the reason I can't get good closeups without the magnifying glass. All these ones are feminized, so that's good
 
I forgot to post the pic of the clone until now, I do have a couple questions. Should it look like this and how do you know when it's ready to be put into soil? I have been re-soaking the rock wool cube in the clone water every other day to keep it wet since now it has air circulating somewhat with the opening made by placing a bigger tray over the smaller one on rods to keep it covered.

This is day 4 now I believe. BTW, I have been saving up to get a small Mars light for the bookcase bottom. If someone doesn't mind letting me know if you think this light will work in the bookcase bottom. The Bookcase dimensions are 1' deep 29 "wide and 39" high. Here is a link to the light I'm thinking about ( I have been saving money like crazy and the wife said we have enough to make up the difference if we have too). I'm hoping to find a used version of the same light. But want to know if you guys think it would work in a space that sized, for vegging only.
to see the entire bottom of the bookcase, I posted it in the next post because it wouldn't let me insert it here when I tried it by editing my post.
